Get me, get me, out of this box, I feel so claustrophobic in here;
Leave your labels, leave with no vision, hear my voice and feel with yo ears...
I'm no soul girl 'quipped with no afro;
I'm just my God given name...
(Ooh...)

I'm not becoming expectations; I'm not her and never will be...
Two girls going in different directions, striving towards the same galaxy...
Let my starlight shine on it's own; no, I'm no sister:
I'm just my God given name...
(Ooh...)

And I'm sorry if this planet that I'm living on is quizzical,
My lyrical ambitions sometimes don't ring a bell...
I'm sorry if my visual don't line up with my feelings,
And my physical exhibit doesn't represent me well...
I'm sorry if I'm curious, delirious, and I don't take life serious,
I mirror the life of a millionaire...
I'm sorry if I'm talking shit, but I really do mean well... (I really do)

We got a long, long moon to glow;
Hadley's a long road to travel;
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open...
We got a long, long moon to glow;
Hadley's a long road to travel;
I gotta dream to keep my eyes open...

We got so long to go, we got so far to go...
Hadley's a long road, Hadley's a long road...
God given name...

Tony don’t call no more
Don't have it on more
Maybe there is something wrong with his phone
Maybe it's mornin' and the thrill is gone

And I’m not sure
That I’m still respected
And I’m not in a rush
To fill rejected, not by Tony

Tony don’t care no more
He doesn’t want me there no more
I just want to know what I did wrong
Damn, this would make a real good song

I don’t have these nights too often
I wish I could take my mind off him
But I really like Tony

And he wasn’t just some regular guy
Tony, actually the other night, oh why?

I could've been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony
I could've been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony

Me and Tony don’t speak no more
It’s almost been a week, oh no
My how time goes so fast
But I still refuse to call his ass

I remember the way that I reacted
And today is even more attractive
But I really miss Tony

Then Tony call me one day
He said that he just called to say, hey
And it wasn’t until he called me back
That I realized I needed more than that
I’m a love wiser and a little older
Hey baby, it was nice to know ya, goodbye, Tony

Still he wasn’t just some regular guy
Tony actually the other night, oh why?

I could've been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony
I could've been in love by now
If it wasn’t for Tony ohhhh

I don’t go with yesterday no more
Now I'm feeling free
(I'm feeling free)
Today and tomorrow told me

(What they said)
That's where I should be
(That's where I should be)
That's where I should be

I feel like walking; diving in tears
Water my roses with sweet liquor, be a stranger to fears

Ooh, see I only wanted to be, be your girl;
To love you in the ways you've never known
But you can't love me, no, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself...

Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark

But you've got my heart...
And I don't want us apart, baby
No, no...

You're sweeter than the spring
Nobody's ever been more
I know you'd give me the shirt off of your shoulders, you'd give me the world

Ooh, but I only wanted to be your woman
To give you all the things I know I can
But you can't know me, no, you can't know me
If you don't even know yourself

Oh, I still wanna be there,
But I've got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't our season
I should be leaving;
Oh, these leaves dancing in the dark

But somehow you've got my heart
These leaves, I want them to fall
But these leaves, I can't shake 'em off
With these leaves, I can't leave at all
At all...
But I should be dancin' baby, dancin
Yeah, I should be dancin' baby, dancin'
Yeah, I should keep groovin' baby, groovin
Yeah, I should keep groovin' on my own

But you got my heart
And I don't want us apart, baby
No, no, oh oh...
We keep on blooming;
You plant a smile everyday
Oh, but I could be swimming in the dead end
Cause I know your ways

Oooh, but see I only wanted to be, be your girl
To show you all the things you've never known
But you can't love me
No, you can't love me
If you don't even love yourself
Oh, I still wanna be there
But I got more enough in reasons
To see this ain't my season
I should be leaving
These leaves dancin' in the dark

But somehow you've got my heart
Oh, baby...
Oh, darling...
Oh, come on baby...
But I should be dancin', baby, dancin
Yeah, I should keep dancin', baby, dancin'
Yeah, I should keep groovin', baby, groovin
Yeah, I should keep groovin', on my own

Who would've known
The wind and the sunshine
Would Baby Baby
Built up these walls of mine
And I can't see you or breathe you
Cause there's trouble right beneath you
It's all in the night
But oh baby baby
Come pick me up in your ride

I'm a cool low Jane
With a skip on my feet
I play tough as nails
With my heart on my sleeve
Nothing but a sandcastle
Baby don't blow me away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
Know that I'm fragile
Bay ba ba babe baby
Don't blow me away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
Know that I'm fragile
Bay ba ba babe baby
Don't blow me away

Who would've known?
The storm of my past time
Would baby make me
Losing the song of the eye

And I can't believe you or read you
It says pleasure in your preview
It's all in your eyes
Oh Mr. Dj baby can you meet me outside

You're a old school dude
With a kick on your shoes
You got groove in your handle
When you spin those tunes
Nothing but a sand castle
Baby don't blow away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
Know that I'm fragile
Bay ba ba babe baby
Don't blow me away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
Know that I'm fragile
Bay ba ba babe baby
Don't blow me away

Oh and just like the ocean
Lays right there behind me
Look over my sandcastle
And there's a sight to see
Don't blow me away
Don't blow me baby

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
Know that I'm fragile
Bay ba ba babe baby
Don't blow me away

Baby I know you do that to all the girls
Know that I'm fragile
Bay ba ba babe baby
Don't blow me away

This song is for my people
I wanna know where we going
I'm right beside you 07

Street lights twilight
There's a liquor store
By his playground
It's raining a cash flow
But it sits well at home
It's a hustle
Now a mother use to hustle
To a different tune
There's a midnight thrilling
And oh the traffic's heavy burning light
Don't slow you down
He thinks trouble fulfilling

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where the
Way I want to know.

Street life crowded
That's his way out the illusion
Teachers failing
Our hero lives on TV
No my break keeps all eyes closed
While his are so open
Take it in three ways, I know it
Nowadays nothing wrong
Cause everything goes
We think trouble fulfilling

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where's the
Way I want to know.

I want to know where (4 xs)
Know
Know

Don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how its suppose to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken
Place is going to take us, and where the
Way I want to know.

I know you hate that I think this way;
I know you think that it's wrong of me;
I know that everything's strong today,
But the longer we go, I know the fire will start to fade, fade, fade...
I may be walking to long for this race;
I know you said that you won't do the same...
And so, I'm writing this song so the day
I see I'm right, I'll play this record with a smirk while I say:

I told you so, I told you so...
I told you so, I told you so...

I know you hate that I think this way;
I could be wrong, but the chances ain't great...
I know your calls, your sweet messages,
Will turn from daily just to make me smile to plain necessary...
I know your vision, your eyes just see me;
But somehow time seems to make it blurry...
And so, I'm writing this song so the day
I see I'm right, I'll play this record while I cry and I say:

I told you so (ooh, baby), I told you so...
I told you so, I told you so...

I know the newness of it all seems right,
But baby I'm no fool, and I got pride;
This happily ever love should just last a while...
I know you think you love me,
But love ain't never stopped nobody from creeping around every once in a while,
When things start to settle down;
And so I won't look like a clown, I'ma call it now:

I told you so, I told you so...
I told you so, unless you prove me wrong...
